Problem/activity:
For each pair of numbers, determine if the values are equivalent. Explain your reasoning for each one.
a.
$$-0.25$$
and
$$\frac{1}{-4}$$
b.
$$-\left ( \frac{1}{4} \right )$$
and
$$\frac{-1}{-4}$$
c.
$$\frac{-1}{4}$$
and
$$-\frac{1}{4}$$


Standard options: 
A. Solve real-world and mathematical problems involving the four operations with rational numbers. (Computations with rational numbers extend the rules for manipulating fractions to complex fractions.)
B. Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication and division and of fractions to multiply and divide rational numbers.
C. Apply and extend previous understandings of addition and subtraction to add and subtract rational numbers; represent addition and subtraction on a horizontal or vertical number line diagram.


Thought: This problem involves understanding fractions and division to divide rational numbers, such as 1, -4, 4, and -1. This problem also involves an understanding of multiplication: if p and q are integers, then -(p/q) = (-p)/q = p/(-q).
Answer: B

Now, assign the following problem or activity to one or more relevant standards it aligns with.

options: Recognize angle measure as additive. When an angle is decomposed into non-overlapping parts, the angle measure of the whole is the sum of the angle measures of the parts. Solve addition and subtraction problems to find unknown angles on a diagram in real world and mathematical problems, e.g., by using an equation with a symbol for the unknown angle measure.

Recognize angles as geometric shapes that are formed wherever two rays share a common endpoint, and understand concepts of angle measurement:
- An angle is measured with reference to a circle with its center at the common endpoint of the rays, by considering the fraction of the circular arc between the points where the two rays intersect the circle. An angle that turns through 1/360 of a circle is called a “one-degree angle,” and can be used to measure angles.
- An angle that turns through n one-degree angles is said to have an angle measure of n degrees.

Measure angles in whole-number degrees using a protractor. Sketch angles of specified measure.
problem_activity: Narrative
In a previous lesson, students described an angle to a peer so that they might draw the angle accurately without seeing it. Students learned what an angle is and have reasoned about how to describe the size of an angle.
In this activity, students use the features of an analog clock (minute hand, hour hand, and position of numbers) to explain how to draw a given angle. In doing so, they use language related to turning one or both hands on the clock. In future activities, students will relate this idea to turning a ray around a fixed point.
The hands on an actual clock are designed so that moving the minute moves the hour hand. The examples here disregard this constraint. For the purposes of this activity, it is assumed that both hands can be moved freely, or that one hand can be held in place while the other moved freely.

Activity
“In an earlier lesson, we played a game where you described an angle to your partner to help them draw it without seeing it.”
“Read Andre’s explanation for how to draw an angle. Try to draw his angle, and then think of another way to describe how to draw the same angle.”
3 minutes: independent work time on the first two problems
“Share your drawing and description with your partner.”
“Discuss how you would explain how to draw the other angles.”
3–5 minutes: partner discussion and work time
Monitor for students who clearly describe turning a hand around the clock and who connect the hands to the rays of the angles.
Student Facing
Andre used the hands of a clock to explain how to draw an angle to his partner.
“Imagine both hands are pointing at the 12. Turn the minute hand so it's pointing at the 3.”

Draw Andre’s angle.
What is another way to describe how to draw the same angle using the clock?
Use Andre’s way to explain how to draw these angles:

Activity Synthesis
“Let’s listen to some different directions for how to draw these angles. As you listen, try to sketch the angle and guess which one they are describing how to draw.”
Invite 2–3 students to share the directions they wrote for drawing one of the angles. Choose students to share in a different order than the angles are presented in the task.
For each, consider asking:
“Which angle did they describe (a, b, or c) and how do you know?”
“What words help you picture how to draw the angle?” (turn right, turn left, point at 4)
“We can describe the size of an angle by explaining how much one ray has turned from the other.”
